How We Met

All is fair in Love, College Football and Bumble!

Back in September 2019, both Alana and Matt were asked to go out to watch college football games on a Saturday afternoon. Alana was asked by her best friend/roommate to meet her out after her shift at Wegmans and Matt was asked to go by a college buddy in the area. Alana did not want to go after a 9 hour shift at Wegmans but with the bribe of a beer and onion rings, how does one say no? Matt was obviously going out because Penn State was playing and who would want to miss out on that? What both Alana and Matt did not know was their both of their friends were co-workers at the time and they were going to the same place. When Alana arrived, she sat down at the bar and next to her was none other than Matt. The two quickly hit it off and were talking for the next hour or so getting to know each other. As they were getting ready to the leave the bar, instead of heading to the next bar, Matt hopped on the bus home and Alana figured he was just a nice guy in passing. Fast forward 6 months later in March 2020, COVID hit and everyone was cooped up. Alana decided to check out Bumble because what else was there to do? She came across Matt's profile and immediately messaged him because she remembered him from the college football afternoon and asked a basic question: pizza or tacos? Matt replied with "I really like both but I really just wanted to answer to see if you remembered me and ask for your number since I did not ask the first time we met". And since then, there have been various pizza nights, Taco Tuesdays and tons of college football Saturdays with various adventures in between!
